Jude's voice over: My inspiration comes from famous people who may rest in peace who took chances. Now I'm beginning to think my life would've been easier if I didn't follow their hearts but my own. Because taking chances means that you are brave and have potential . I'm neither.

Jude Harrison was walking down the side walk of a busy street one afternoon with her hands in both front pockets of her denim jeans with her head down watching her feet switch from left to right or right to left, taking her where she needs to go.

But I am destined. I have a heart that beats differently from the others. I am me"

Her boots finally came to a stop. As Jude looked up, there was a wide wooden door with colored glass that looked vintage. Large enough to belong a to a two-storied house. One. Two. Three quick knocks was present and moments later it opened and revealed the man that she needed to see. She spoke up just as soon it opened not bothering to hesitate, "I don't know why but I keep coming back to you. Can you tell me why? What is that every time you come around you have something to say? Something deep but stupid all at the same time." It was a quick and positive question. Without a hi or hey, she just went to the point.

"Jude-"

"No, let me explain." She cuts him off. "You were everything to me way before all of this started. I mean, you were the one I go to when I needed the most, you were there. At the same time, you're also the one making this extremely difficult for me. Why? Why is that when I'm in trouble my heart tells me to go to you. Your face is the first image that appears in my head when I needed answers. God, I'm so confused…"

Now on the verge of tears, Jude stood there waiting for his response. He could've say anything but no. He just stood there as she was on the edge of a breakdown. She wanted to know. She didn't want to keep it all inside anymore, she no longer couldn't. Jude wanted answers. Still, he didn't move his place. He just stood there looking down at her as tear by tear rushed down her flushed cheeks. She waited long enough, she shook her head slowly and took a deep breath. "Forget it. More questions unanswered." The curious child turned her heals and took a step forward down the step before he reached out his arms and stopped her. He spun her around and looked directly into her eyes as both of his hands placed on both her shoulders. "I'm always there for you because I've loved you for so long as I can remember. Jude, you're the only one who I want to see in the morning and your face is the last thing I want to see before I close my eyes to my dreams. You are my everything. I thought you would get that by now when I blew off Kat 2 years ago for your show at the mall. No matter what's going on between us, I'll always be there. Do you know how painful it is to see you go guy to guy for the past 3 years from Shay to Tommy. But I know you only have a spot for one person in your heart to fill you up. No one will take his place unless you let go. But I love you Jude. No, I'm in love with you"

Jamie Andrews whispered the last phrase. Jude looked at him before taking her hands reaching for his, slowly removing them from her shoulders and into her hands before going in for a tight embrace and sobbed. "I'm so sorry" she whispered. Jamie simply kissed the top of her head and continued to hang on to her.

Later that day, Jude was sitting under a huge umbrella right outside a little Italian coffee shop. She sat quietly with a cup of hot mocha on her table, mp3 player in use and her trust worthy journal with a pen in hand. She was writing notes and thoughts when a tap was occurred on Jude's shoulder. When Jude turned to see who it was looking through her sunglasses there was a little young lady with a notebook and pen in hand. She had a beautiful smile when she saw Jude's face. "Hi, I didn't mean to bother you but may I please have your autograph?" Jude simply smiled and gave a soft laugh. "Of course." When Jude reached out to grab the little girl's notebook and pen, she took a peek at top. It had Jude's signature pose and her name. That made Jude feel good about her fans. They always have her back no matter what. "Uh, what's your name?" Jude asked. "Lacey-Lee" the girl replied. She quickly signed the page and handed it back to her fan. She had the most gorgeous big brown eyes with black smoky make up, she had straight red hair. "Here you go." Jude handed the notebook and pen back to Lacey-Lee, the girl took a look at marked page and Jude watched her and heard her read: To Lacey Lee, music is blood. Beautiful girl with a bright future if you try your best. Xoxo Jude Harrison . The gorgeous smile appeared on her face, "Thank you so much." "No problem" Lacey waved good bye. When she turned around Jude looked at the back of the tee. It reads: With Jude Harrison, EVERYthing is possible. Keep rocking." She never let her fans down and she doesn't know why but Jude saw something special in that girl.

When the little girl disappeared, Jude turned back to her journal but something caught her eye. Specifically, someone.
